Here's a nice way to enjoy Italian flavors with a minimum of attention. Simmering the sauce with the HOT sausage and fresh basil add just the right touch of spiciness.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. Hot Itilian Sausage (Anything BUT Johnsonville )
24 oz. jar Bertolli Tomato &Basil Spaghetti Sauce
2 Tbsp fresh basil
6 oz. Macaroni (Fusilli, Ziti, Shells, Penne or Angel hair)
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Basil sprigs for garnish
PREPARATION:
Wash the basil, shaking off the water and strip leaves from stalk. Chop finely. Wash the sausages and pat dry.
COOKING:
Set a 3 quart sauce pan over med to low heat. Add the sauce, fresh basil and sausages. Cover and bring to a slow simmer. Simmer for 3 to 3- 1/2 hours. Stir occasional to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook Macaroni according to package directions. Transfer to a colander and flush with hot water. Let drain a few minutes, then spread over a serving dish. Ladle most of the sauce over the macaroni and arrange the sausages on top. Ladle the remaining sauce over the sausages and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with basil sprigs and serve.
